    hodge [necro] is in a system next to mine, he has already split it with someone else, but if we coordinate it we can take another system. although he hasnt replied yet <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    lol Ultimate gecko, im allied with blaqwolf, and it turns out i sent 6 destroyers to that planet and he ALSO sent 2 bships and 10 destroyers to that same planet (im guessing my warning to him came too late) so it turns out ill have a 30 min window to kill the starbase (since ill arrive there first) and quickly leave with my 4 destroyers i have left to let him colonize the planet (the kid kurai whos been afk blaq is taking over, there should be an ally button that u check off so ur fleets dont attack eachother or something that could let your ships turn around <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    haha tricky.. do you know exactly when you're geting there? what lvl mathematics
  • Marine0IMarine0I Join Date: 2002-11-14 Member: 8639Members, Constellation
    Ehehehe Diablus if your maths is really poor - its possible he might beat YOU there :O

    Either way someone is going to get themselves some exp points <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The Ally button doesnt come in till the next beta, but it is coming. Remember this is like 1.04 - its not the final product.

    Well, whether or not you go with maths pretty much depends on the competition. For eediot getting maths isnt smart because the only powerful person around is an ally. But for Gecko, he might have some ppl to worry about, so he will need it.

    Small note on precision building - if you want to go up 3 levels dont wait till you have enough for the entire three levels, just only spend when you can get it up at least 1.

    The idea is to never have anything half built - you either build it fully, or dont build at all. Do or do not - there should be no halfway. That way, you always have the option to change your mind, and flexibility is good. It really stinks when you have sunk 400pp into a battlecruiser and get a msg saying the nme is coming in 4 hours. You wont be able to finish that battleship, and that 400pp you cant touch, so you cant spend it on a starbase.

    its because i dont have anything else to do, i just keep refreshing

    couldnt there be a better way...? "if you keep flooding the server, your bandwidth connection to the server will be called to 0.5Kb/s max" ? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Thx for the pm Marine. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I spent 8 pnts on the hydroponic farm. It is level one now. I thought I had to buy one first before upgrading, but I guess I was wrong? Anyways, I will be waiting for pnts to trickle in.

    /wonders how long before I can get 25 pnts hehe.

    BTW, my username is NS_kida and I am at the coordinates -28/-47, somewhere in the known universe.
  • eedioteediot Join Date: 2003-02-24 Member: 13903Members
    kida - actually, you can tell how long it will take. see how many points you currently get per hour [it should be on your PP row - +4 or + 5 or something], then see how many hours until you get 25 points <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> then come back in that many hours hehe

    i just recently got a new planet, and it sucks how you have to get it from the ground up. seems you should be able to send in PP/support from your existing planet to make it a good planet, instead of having to make a totally new one every time. but you cant <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> hopefully this will be a feature in the next beta, but i wouldnt count on it. anybody know?

    I signed up too, using marine01's referral.

    Name: NS_DivW
    Location: Alpha Elkhiffa Australis (-46,-20) and I'm on planet 10.

    This system is pretty nice, they're all afk'ers it seems and I'm doing well compared to the rest(using all of your advice of course).

    Well, anyway, this looks like a funny game, I'll play it for some time.

    however, watch out. that planet might just be his outpost in your part of the galaxy - he may have planets with deeper pockets elsewhere. just kill his planet and take it, but dont form feuds until you know that he has nothing against you <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Kida always build the robo factory first. That way - you would have been getting 2 an hour now. Robo - THEN farm, it just works out better in the end. NP on the im the pm this thread is very big now, and my nublets guide is hidden on around page 5-6.

    eediot there is no way to hurry that process up. The thing with this game is you need another game to play to pass the time. So you can go hardcore on the ns, then come back 4 hours later and do something in astrowars. Or you could sleep, pat your dog etc

    Daza that guy is pretty much your best friend right now - who else gets a constant supply of exp? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Ahem, well you could spend all your points (only available if you have more than 150 PPs) on interstellar trade, and if the planet is the highest (cloest to planet 1) in that system, when you but the PPs back, they'll all go to that planet. A good, quick way to boost a planet very high.

I'm guessing he is planning to send a big huge fleet to one of those planets, then attack from there so that I don't have time to react <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Am I right in thinking the minimum time for ANYTHING to happen in Astrowars is 6 hours? As long as I have about 12 hours notice I should be ok, otherwise I could find my empire gone overnight <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The one guy in my system who isn't AFK has already taken 2 other planets over the weekend.
    I just boosted my population level up to 7 and factory up to 8 with 6 level farm and my Starbase up to level 8. I am now building my transpost fleet to take the other 5 planets in my system.

    As long as this other guy stays 1 step behind me (hes ahead of me now) I will be ok.

    I am going to take the other 5 planets, build them up and them kill the AFKers. After thats done. I am going to build up Super strong and take him out of my system!

    Anyone know how you can alter your name?
    I want to add NS- to the front of it to mark I am a part of the mighty NS dominion!

    right now im just trying to stabalise my whole system... build it up. it really shits me, knowing that for every new planet i get, ill have to do the whole thing over again. anyway, im spending all my money on upgrading my research labs on all my planets [all 2 of them <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> but soon i will have 4!! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->] so my population limit will go up [i have +19 science per hour now.. whoopee!], then i will focus on culture so i can get more planets. i cbf getting fleets and stuff yet, i just want to be able to get as much PP as possible, so when i need to i can just wait a bit, stockpile it, then spend on an attack fleet or defense fleet, or just go on a universal-wide planet steal <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Wrong! all of my sciences are over 10 (except math) which is at 9 and im researching now (+43 per hour ^^) i actually did arrive there first, and i just pulled out, i only lost 2 destroyers instead of my 6 in a FF incident against blaqwolfs fleet. but what i dont get is that i didnt get ANY thing from defeating his starbase besides 5 exp points. when last time i kileld the other AFK's starbase i got ex points plus 1 Supply Unit. now i get nothing <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> except "exp points"

    It will take you quite some time to get 6 planets, its not easy getting culture


    The most amount of planets any player has in the entire game is 11, thats not even a whole system. You're best bet is probably to get 4, max 5 planets in the one system and then moving on to the next one, killing off the locals there, and then rinse, repeat. Always nice to find a brand-spankin' new system with all afkers or all new players, SU's and exp. for all <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'll have enough culture for 6 planets by the end of the day...Now if only my colony ships would hurry their butts up....freaking slow even with 10 energy. Both the other people in my star system have 5+ starbases though...I don't have the resources to build enough ships to take those out. I have 1 battleship, 2 cruisers and like 7 destroyers....and only 2 transports so I wouldn't be able to cap the planet.

    bah. Where're the Inter planetary nuclear ballistic missles?

    I need more pp....MORRRRRE....least my max pop is 10.
